"There is no law, executive order, or congressional order that REQUIRES that children as young as toddlers be RIPPED from their parent's arms, detained in cages, and then lost because ineffective records were being kept."

That might be true but when legal citizens abuse their children they are taken away from their parents even if there are no laws that state that REQUIRES that they do so.

Re: Family Separation Not Trump Administration’s Fault

I don't have a problem with the laws; I have a problem with a poster that quotes laws that don't exist.

There is no law, executive order, or congressional order that REQUIRES that children as young as toddlers be RIPPED from their parent's arms, detained in cages, and then lost because ineffective records were being kept.

This policy and especially its implementation is all on TRUMP THE CHUMP'S shoulders. Other administrations did not have this blanket policy or you would have surely heard about it. Clinton and Obama were attacked daily by the alt-right radio listened to by the minions in TRUMP THE CHUMP'S cult. If wholesale family separations were taking place at the time of their administrations, it would have been the subject of those radio shows.

Now that they have a cult leader in place in the highest office in the land, they protect that cult leader as any cult would.

Re: Family Separation Not Trump Administration’s Fault

Let's not waste a good day on propaganda produced by'heritage' and peddled by the guy who is on his way to a Masters in Disingenuity.

'The donald' never did 'have to do it'. He chose to. ALL the fallout is on him and him alone. What anyone else did or didn't do is totally irrelevent. Precedent is not a controller here. He chose to. All the rest is Bull.

Re: Family Separation Not Trump Administration’s Fault

There is NO legal basis for family separation apart from Trump's order. There is no executive order from a previous administration. There is no Act of Congress even suggesting it. There is no previous administrative rule authorizing it.

Trump and his minions are solely responsible for what amounts to kidnapping and jailing children. Little care was taken to identify the children and who their parents are. Many children --- even infants and toddlers --- are being forced to appear alone in immigration courts because they can't identify their parents.

The parents were told that their children were being taken to "bathe". It reminds me of when children were taken to "showers".
